The one thing Elias got right in the offseason was signing Sugano. Dude throws 5 or 6 different pitches and has one of the filthiest splitters you will ever see.

It's ashame he's not a few years younger.

Really lucked out at my house, no damage just some small branches. But a mile north on York Road from my house and it’s a whole other mess. Big trees on lines, lots of debris everywhere on the road. A mess. 

Same here. Very fortunate. Lots of damage nearby but my neighborhood was spared.

I just don't get it. With the new facility coming online and all the money that comes from being in the Big 10, plus what was reported to getting offered the top salary in the conference next year to stay, why would you go to the Big East?

Because he's a jersey guy and Big East guy. That's always where it wanted to be. Maryland job became leverage for him despite his rather pedestrian record in postseason. Basketball is number 1 at Villanova no football program to compete with for funds.

Finally having guards that can shoot. What a difference that makes. 

C-. The very cold stretches kept it from being a D. 4th straight winter up here with well below average snow. The February tease was a bitter pill to swallow. An abrupt end to winter after the cold 3rd week of February. March appears to be a shut out.

No way this team should be losing to the likes of NW and Washington... Also giving up a 17 point lead to lose on a bank shot 3 pointer.  They better bound the crap out of NW this weekend in College Park.  

The worst in my opinion was the blown game to Ohio St. That game happened after we turned the corner and we were playing well. We're a superior team to them and we collapsed.

2 seed isn’t either if we win the Big Ten tournament. 

Agree. Nice to have some guys that can shoot for once.

3 seed not out of the question.

MD is projected to be a 5th seed.  I can see them  moving up to a 3 seed if they can win the next two and win 2 in the Big Ten tournament.

Michigan has not been playing well. This is a great opportunity to solidify themselves. I expect them to play well. 2 wins this week and we may enter the Big 10 Tournament ranked nationally in the top 10.

JB brought out the 1993 card today. 

Getting some moderate bursts with really nice flakes.

Steady light snow sticking to all surfaces with the sun poking through. 

Very light snow. 18.

20/5 with virga. I doubt I see anything at all

Maybe tomorrow we get a few hours of wintry fun.

If i had didn't know this isn't happening here in AA County I'd think I'm about to jack. It looks like a snow event is moving into the lowlands if you're going by the radar. Damn this sucks

This one just stings more than usual for several obvious reasons! 

Cloudy and 16. Models nailed that part 7 days ago.

14.

I know there was one event that caught everyone off-guard. The roads weren't treated, it was below freezing and there was like 1 inch of snow that froze instantly on the roads. Took people hours to get home. Kids from school got home at like 6pm. It was crazy.

I remember there was something like you described a couple days before the 2016 Blizzard but that was mainly around DC. Definitely remember hearing about kids stuck on busses from only an inch.

If it's the storm I am thinking of it was February 2013, a saturday night yes,  and we got like 3.5" in about an hour from it.  

I remember the Saturday in 2013. Wasn't that the one with heavy wet snow? I think it was pretty warm that afternoon before it snowed.

The one I'm talking about was another  Saturday in 2012.

I think some of that snow was actually from another small event a couple days before that...then maybe 1-2" was from the ULL thing the night before.  We had a lot of minor snows that year...it was soooo annoying...really cold for a lot of that winter but just couldn't get any storm to jack us.  One of my least favorite winters ever.  Kinda similar to this one lol  

Do you remember that rogue band a Saturday night in February during the dismal 2012 winter? A front went through earlier in the day with some snow showers then a weak fading squall line. After that pushed through there was nothing until later that night when it started snowing. Hardly anything on radar and we got like 2-3 inches in a couple hours.

Back in 2009 (which was one of my top analogs to this season and similarly cold but not too snowy) I think it was...there was a situation where we were tracking a threat at a big coastal phased with a cut off ULL for a few days...and it failed...but then some places not too far away from here up in southern PA got like 10" of snow in a few hours from convective bands that set up as the h5 low came through.  Just bringing that up.  lol 

Interesting you brought that up. It was early February and Manchester pulled of 3-4 inches out of a rogue band late at night. My house was just built here and I came up from Reisterstown the next morning. When I arrived it was a solid 3 on the ground. Hampstead got maybe an inch. The cutoff was very similar to January 19th storm this year. Once you it went south of us and got to Walmart amounts drastically decreased. Seems to be something about that first ridge heading north on 30 leaving Walmart as the cutoff often. The band faded heading south so by the time it got to Reisterstown it only snowed about a half inch. It was definitely from that storm that hit Lancaster area with 10 inches from the connective bands. It was like a weird inverted trough.

For the others in the same snow hole as me... keep that in mind.  Think about 2010 when every single storm jacked us...think about 2011 when we got jacked by the January storm and also had a nice Feb storm that VA and DC missed out on.  Think about all those waves in 2014 and 2015 that jacked our area!  The 2016 HECS!  We had a run!  Even going back before that northeast MD did a lot better in the Feb 2006 storm and a couple of the 2005 storms!  We were in a positive snow anomaly for a long time.  We are paying the devil his due now.  It will flip back again.  Hopefully sooner rather then later.  

I think about how incredibly some of those years were all the time and that's why it's easy to accept the recent drought. Don't forget we somehow managed to get close to average in 2017/18 and 2018/19. Also look how lucky we got in 2020/21.
